Description

The GtkFontSelection widget lists the available fonts, styles and sizes, allowing the user to select a font. It is used in the GtkFontSelectionDialog widget to provide a dialog box for selecting fonts.

To set the font which is initially selected, use gtk_font_selection_set_font_name().

To get the selected font use gtk_font_selection_get_font() or gtk_font_selection_get_font_name().

To change the text which is shown in the preview area, use gtk_font_selection_set_preview_text().
